Vattenfall builds Hommerdingen-Biesdorf hybrid wind and solar park in Germany

Vattenfall has announced the development of the Hommerdingen-Biesdorf hybrid wind and solar park in south-west Germany, a significant step in its strategy to enable fossil-free living. This project combines four Enercon wind turbines totaling 17MW with over 12,000 solar modules providing 7.6MWp, resulting in a combined capacity of 24.6 MW. A notable aspect of this development is the innovative single grid connection, linking the solar park to the distribution grid through the wind park via an agreement with local operator Westnetz, optimizing infrastructure and grid integration. This development deal, announced on March 3, 2026, highlights Vattenfall's commitment as a major European energy company to advanced renewable energy solutions. The hybrid nature of the park, co-locating wind and solar generation, is strategically important for maximizing land use efficiency and providing a more consistent power output by leveraging the complementary generation profiles of wind and solar resources. Located in Germany, a mature and highly active market for renewable energy, this project underscores the growing trend towards integrated renewable solutions that enhance grid stability and accelerate the energy transition.
